Little Girl Blue (album)
Little Girl Blue is the debut album by jazz singer, pianist and songwriter Nina Simone, released by Bethlehem Records. Simone was in her mid-20s at the time, and still aspiring to be a classical concert pianist. She immediately sold the rights for the songs on this album to Bethlehem for $3,000, with the deal eventually costing her royalty profits of more than a million dollars. Simone was dissatisfied by the lack of effort the record company took in promoting her, and after this album she formed a long business relationship with Colpix Records. The album Nina Simone and Her Friends was released after she had left Bethlehem, without her consent, and comprised songs that were left over from the Little Girl Blue recording session.
The original 1958 album was released in mono, but a second issue the following year, by Bethlehem Records (SBCP-6028), was stereo. It was also released in 2003, on the Charly label, as Jazz as Played in an Exclusive Side Street Club.

Little Girl (Miwa song)
"Little Girl" (リトルガール, Ritoru Gāru) is Japanese singer-songwriter miwa's second major label single, released on June 23, 2010. The B-side "Soba ni Itai Kara" is a re-recording of miwa's second independently released single from 2008.
Writing and inspiration
The song is an upbeat pop-rock song. The lyrics of the song are self-referential, both to miwa as the songwriter and the song being a love song. miwa describes herself as a "little girl" who writes songs, plays her guitar and is sick of listening to love songs. The rest of the lyrics deal with expressing feelings to an "unusual boy" in a love song, and uses unusual metaphors to with maths/science (such as "you don't need equations in love," describing the boy as "flowing with minus ions" and saying that the boy is "the only one to receive my special frequency").
"Little Girl" was written during the summer holiday of her first year of university, as a potential candidate for her debut single. She wanted "make a life-sized song they was very much her." She did not want to write a love song that applied to everyone, but one that was specific to just a certain two people.
Little Girl (Reba McEntire song)
"Little Girl" is a song written Kendal Franceschi and Quentin Powers, and recorded by American country artist Reba McEntire. It was released in December 1989 as the third single from the album Sweet Sixteen. The song reached number 7 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.

Little Girl Blue
When I was very young the world was younger than I
As merry as a carousel
The circus tent was strung with every star in the sky
Above the ring I loved so well
Now the young world has grown old
Gone are the tinsel and gold
Sit there and count your fingers
What can you do? Old girl, you're through
Sit there and count your little fingers
Unlucky little girl blue
Sit there and count the raindrops falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can count on is the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue
No use, old girl, you may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
To cheer little girl blue?
No use, old girl, you may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
